FYI Gannon/Guckert.......I smell a story cooking.

[Ninga]

This is an FYI, sort of a bulletin to let faithful DU'ers know this is not a dead story.

"Watch for a big main stream daily paper OUTSIDE of the beltway to write about Gannon/Guckert in a big way."

It's not what I know, it's who I know.

[boneygrey]

1. When?

[Guckert]

2. Do tell????

[grannylib]

3. Come on, give us more of a hint than that...NE? Midwest?

[Ninga]

6. All I can say.....and no more than this....it is a rag West of

the Mississippi.

The most heartening thing to know is that the story is NOT DEAD.

Hear me out.....IT IS NOT DEAD!!!

[Warpy]

20. Good, it had better not be dead.

The whole story smells on so many levels it's hard to breathe around it sometimes. Even if he only had one sugar daddy in the White House, we know from testimonials on his website that he had satisfied customers in the upper reaches of military command. We suspect by the dead silence of the televangelist crowd that he may have had a few satisfied customers there.

And that's if our worst suspicions about this thing don't pan out.

[burn the bush]

62. could that be the cause of falwells little heart problem? hhmmmmm?

[FreedomAngel82]

25. Whenever it's posted here

then I'll read it and be happy. I'm just not going to set myself up for a disappointment. I've had too many of those.

[SayitAintSo]

48. "I'm not dead yet !...." hmmmmm ....heard that one recently...

Nice to know ... we need some good news ...

(long live Monty Python :0 )

[tech3149]

4. Did you mean a "steaming paper"?

[EVDebs]

5. This is where faith-based DUers can come in PRAY that the whole

story about Operation Mockingbird and the rest of the propaganda machine's domestic operations all come tumbling out into the light of day.

Light, more light ! Disinfect with giant UV rays into the darkest heart of this administration ! Let them all have 'Damascus Road' moments !

[hootinholler]

39. Speaking of light...

I had an idea about lights once, seemed to peter out, maybe it was early.

[ohio_liberal]

7. Plain Dealer?

:shrug:

[Ninga]

10. The Plain Dealer is not known for investigative reporting and it is

not West of the Mississippi.

[ohio_liberal]

11. Alright

I was typing while you were posting. Didn't see it until after I posted.

[Skip Intro]

8. Didn't Leslie Stahl say there was more to come on this a while back?

on Bill Maher's show?

[Blue_In_AK]

51. I don't remember if she said there was more to come

But I know she seemed completely appalled by the whole thing.

[politicaholic]

9. They just jumped right on that story...well hopped...crawled actually...

The story will buckle under the weight of all of this Schiavo nonsense. Just another great story squandered.

The print media: yesterday's news tomorrow.

[FreedomAngel82]

26. Sad but true

I'd be happy just to know.

[K-W]

12. Heck and Guckert himself is still hanging around.

[Ninga]

15. Gannon/Guckert is a brazen idiot. He thinks he has been anointed

and accepted by his "fellow journalists" and is a blatant fool for appearing in public.

[understandinglife]

60. On what basis do you claim that "Gannon/Guckert is a brazen idiot." ?

How do You know what he thinks?

How do You know "He thinks he has been anointed and accepted by...."?

Be specific and site evidence for each of those claims, please.


Thank you.

[Robbien]

13. Is this a result of his being invited to the blogger discussion

at the Press Club?

[sabra]

14. Can you give us a time frame? PLEASE :-)

[Ninga]

18. I wish I could Sabra.....only the people working on the story know

where they are in the process and when the story will finally unfold......I just caught wind of this by chance..........let's just say "it's all in the family."

[BuyingThyme]

31. Does this have anything to do with

Rob Reiner?

[me b zola]

67. LOL

Jimmyjeff is the original meathead!!!

[understandinglife]

61. Whose "family" is that? (nt)

www.missionnotaccomplished.us

[peacetalksforall]

16. I'll be curious to know if they have found something that bloggers

haven't. I don't even care what it reveals, I care that some entity besides bloggers might be investigating and reporting.

[trudyco]

17. I vote for a knight-ridder rag...they seem better than most

not that that's saying very much.

[merh]

19. Okay, will you give us any clues about who you know?

"It's not what I know, it's who I know."

:shrug:

.

[Ninga]

21. I have said enough........more than I should have....but I have such

a strong feeling for DU'ers and the kinship of dear, passionate, progressive and liberal folks, that I ignored my better judgment and spilled more than I should have.

[merh]

29. I appreciate your sharing what you have shared and I will

respect your desire to not say more. Thanks, I will be watching for a newspaper west of the Mississippi to have a new article on everyone's favorite jimmy/jeff.

You can call him jim and you can call him james and you can call him jeff and you can call him guckert and you can call him gannon and you can call him bulldog . . .

But his story is not over with, there is so much more...

BTW, a belated welcome to DU! :hi: Thanks again.

[Virginian]

53. What's with the nicname Jeff?

Didn't Limbaugh call himself Jeff for a while?

[lostnfound]

56. hugs and kisses for cheering me up!

and probably many others here, too.

[Redstone]

22. Easy, folks, don't pressure Ninga too much...

We can wait until the morning, can't we?

He or she has given us something to look forward to with that first cup o' joe and Marlboro of the morning... let's not nag him /her.

Redstone

Edited for apostrophe in wrong place.

[Ninga]

28. Thanks Redstone.....I was unbelievably caught off guard when I

"caught wind" of this development. I was not allowed to ask questions, and the ONLY fact I heard was that the "rag" had people working on the story and that it was NOT DEAD. Beyond that, I do not know when it will break.

It did not sound like it was imminent, in other words, tomorrow.

[BlueIris]

54. Maybe it's sick...

but I really feel like this story, and not the Congressional "intervention" into Terri Shiavo's death, is the Monica of Bush's "presidency." So I still desperately want it to break. Oh, and it's fucked up that Gannon/Guckert even exists.

[grannylib]

23. Well for what it's worth, I vote for the Mpls Star/Tribune, which is just

barely west of the Mississippi, and occasionally manages to be pretty good.

[TxGran]

27. My vote

is for the Houston Chronicle.

[ChicanoPwr]

36. I would be surprised if the Chron did it.

If it does I will re-new. If it is from Houston I would say the Houston Press. It is probably the LA Times.

[spooky3]

44. mine is for the LA Times

[dflprincess]

38. My first thought was also the Strib

but then I thought of the Des Moines Register - they've done some good stuff in the past.

[BamaBecky]

40. I thought about the De Moines Register also...did you see the Sunday

editorial? Editor recommended all Republicans re-register as Independents!!!........So this paper was my very first thought.:woohoo:

[BamaBecky]

50. CORRECTION - NOT De Moines!!!!! It was the Omaha Herald here is

Harold W. Andersen: Republicans have way to protest party's takeover by religious right

BY HAROLD W. ANDERSEN
WORLD-HERALD CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

For Republicans who consider their party a captive of the religious right on matters like medical research and right-to-die legislation and now legislative intrusion into the judicial system, there is a way to at least feel more comfortable with their political consciences.

That way is to leave a party whose leadership is currently attempting to leave behind in the dust of American constitutional history the principle of separation of powers that has served this country well for more than 200 years.

<snip>

I would think that I'm not the only Republican who feels the party's leadership has engaged in an irresponsible and perhaps unprecedented effort to subvert the traditional separation of government powers. How to express our disapproval?

I'm going to the Douglas County Election Commissioner's office on Monday to change my political registration from Republican to Independent

, while continuing to feel sympathy for Terri Schiavo and her parents and believing that the most compassionate course is to free her from her sad existence, Republican Party politicians to the contrary notwithstanding.

[AlCzervik]

24. i'm willing to wait it out, hell i've been waiting for Bush to be held

accountable for his actions for this long so i can wait on the male hooker story for awhile.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

30. Thank you for the information!

I'm just glad to hear this story is still kicking. :)

[Ninga]

34. You are welcome. As soon as I wrote it, I felt guilty but dang it, I

would want to know this if some other DU'er stumbled onto it.

I have no earthly idea who any of you people are.

But I love you dearly.

You know, misery loves company. And this whole Gannon/Guckert thing has made me miserable.

[DeepModem Mom]

32. LA Times is v.g. at investigation (dug up the story on DeLay's father)...

and has earned a bunch of Pulitzers for it. It's big, and west of the Mississippi. Just sayin' --

[spooky3]

45. and on Der Groper's history

[oustemnow]

33. sweet; I just wrote my editor's letter about Gannon/Guckert

and was worried that it may be a dead topic by the time the issue comes out.

[samplegirl]

35. Keith Oberman's

Gonna love this!

[Catherine Vincent]

37. Gannon aficionado checking in!

[ellenfl]

41. when it DOES come out, i hope someone will post

it for those of us EAST of the mississippi.

tia

ellen fl

[jojo54]

42. Me, too!

I'm gonna be up every morning checking the internet for the "breaking" story tho. Can't wait.

[flyarm]

43. kansas city papers??

there were many children who went missing in the early 80's!!
and k.c. followed the gosch story very closely!!

fly

[enid602]

46. LA Times

There might well be hell to pay if it's the LA Times. Although their RW owner (Chicago Trib)has given them editorial independence over most things, I've heard it rumored that the Trib has tied their hands with re: to Guckert/Gannon. Their publishing Aravosi's work as a letter to the editor a few weeks back might be an indication that they're getting restless.

[On the Road]

47. Hmmm...The San Jose Mercury News

has a record of some major investigative stories.

[ngGale]

49. They sure do....hmmmm....

there is a lot to the Gannon/Gunkert case. Foremost, the Plame connection, how did know and when did he know it? Least of all, was it pillow talk? Kinda makes you go, hmmmmmm!

[Catherine Vincent]

52. "... hmmmmmm!"

Famous last words from Gannon's clients?:evilgrin:

[DearAbby]

55. Oh Goody Goody ...Gonna get some news!

:applause:



:woohoo:

[ebayfool]

57. Thanks, recced & bookmarked! Glad to hear there are still ...

journalists out there. (& you're tops to give us a heads up!)

I'm patient, I can wait, as long as there is sunlight shed on this - I can wait!

[Stephanie]

58. Any time frame?

Will the story be out this week?

Kicking because Gannon/Guckert is the most entertaining story of the year!

:kick:

[applegrove]

59. Dream on Karl! The news is fine these days.. exactly as she is.

:rofl: your gop agenda :rofl:

65. LOL! Check out the pic of Gannon on Americablog.org!

I just love John. He really despises Gannon!:-)

[lies and propaganda]

66. The Des Moines Register?

LibertyThink.com has a story about the Des Moines Register writing a Gannon/Gosch expose.

Exactly the paper where Johnny Gosch was working at when he was kidnapped.

[Dr Fate]

68. Dean, Hillary, Kerry, Obama etc. already killed this story.

They decided to give Bush a free pass on this-just like always.

The media will NOT report on how corrupt they are, and DEMS are too afraid to call them on it.

This story is DEAD, folks-mark my word- dead and as unimpeachable as "Harkengate", "AWOL" "Enron-Bush", "My Pet Goat" "Bush is lying about the WMDs" and all the other lies and scandals that most top DEMS were too cowardly to go on TV and talk about.

[Swamp Rat]

70. WHERE ARE YOU JAMES D. GUCKERT???

:D

[Griffy]

71. I saw JG the other day driving the beltway of DC..

Red VW with W sticker... PA plates Im 95% sure.. I pulled up next to him and there he was bald head and all!

[earth mom]

73. Should be interesting...keep us posted! eom

[T Town Jake]

74. LOL...
